Cross-References in the Bible
I made a plugin that allowed me to setup any .md file as a structured verse-aware document, its called Verse Markers.
This allowed me to have the entire Catholic Bible in my native language (Spanish) on the version that I like most, organized within folders as I see fit, and be able to have references between all chapters from all books (both from the original footnotes and my own custom ones).
References can be made to one verse, multiple verses, and even verse-ranges skipping through other verses using a single wiki-link.
I can also write normal notes and cite specific verse-ranges from my own Bible within the vault, without using any external connection, service or database.
I'm also reading about other religions, and within the same vault I can have multiple sacred books from different religions and I'm able to make connections between common themes throughout religions using links, footnotes and embeds. Pretty cool if you ask me!
My setup is having each bible chapter as its own .md file, but the plugin has a "verse section" feature that could allow you to have a single .md file for an entire book, with their own chapters that span across any verse range you specify (without headings breaking that structure). Although for the Bible I'd recommend the first approach to keep it well organized.
And if you're a linguist, philologist or scholar working on a new translation of any sacred book from any religion, this tool could help you a lot in your process! I hope y'all like this :D
P.s: Blue is the Old Testament, green is the New Testament.
Sidenote: I cannot share my vault, but there's plenty of resources online to build your own!
